Palace insiders claim that the feud between Prince William and Harry stems from their differing approaches to wildlife conservation, with William favoring a community-driven approach and Harry leaning towards a more interventionist method. Harry's involvement with African Parks has come under scrutiny following reports of human rights abuses and rapes by charity rangers, leading to calls for him to step down from his role. The controversy predates Harry's relationship with Meghan Markle and has sparked tensions within the royal household.
Prince Harry was reportedly warned about alleged human rights abuses, including rapes and torture, committed by rangers employed by African Parks, a conservation charity in Africa, months before he joined its board of directors. The allegations involve the mistreatment of the Baka, an indigenous group, in the Republic of Congo. Survival International, an organization fighting for indigenous rights, sent a letter to Harry and Meghan Markle detailing the atrocities and urging them to intervene. The charity has been accused of widespread rights violations against the Baka people, prompting calls for Prince Harry to distance himself from the organization. African Parks has denied the allegations and stated that it has a "zero-tolerance" policy for any form of abuse.
Prince Harry is facing calls to resign from his role in African Parks, a conservation charity accused of human rights abuses against the indigenous Baka people in Africa. The charity, funded by the EU, US government, and wealthy philanthropists, including a Swiss billionaire, has been accused of brutalizing the Baka people and enforcing theft of their rainforest. Survival International has launched a campaign urging the prince and donors to sever ties with the charity, while Prince Harry's foundation has escalated the serious allegations to the appropriate authorities. African Parks has launched an investigation into the allegations and claims to have a "zero-tolerance" policy for any form of abuse.
